Available by the axle for front or rear, or as a complete vehicle set.

Make sure your plugs are firing at voltage levels that ensure optimal combustion and peak performance. If your old coils are tired and unable to do the job, an ignition service kit from ECS Tuning will put some zap in the gap when you need it most. Our ignition service kits are easy to install and come with everything you need to restore secondary ignition efficiency firing at voltage levels sure to get the most from each and every power stroke.

With so many garish aftermarket body kits out there, the smartest option is to choose an enduring exterior upgrade that has been stamped with approval by the expert designers at BMW. The OEM BWM "is" Side Skirt Kit for your BMW E30 3 Series accents the lines of your car, bringing it a subtle measure of factory style.

When the 2.0T engine was introduced, the rubber diaphragm in the original diverter valve failed regularly, even at stock boost levels. The improved Pierburg diverter valve has a piston valve design that eliminates the original, failure-prone rubber diaphragm. This mechanical design is more durable and is an excellent upgrade for all stock or modified 2.0T FSI & TSI engines. Kits also include the highly convenient VAG Connector Removal Tool. Spend more time driving, less time fixing!

If you plan on attending to any part of your vehicle's cylinder head, you will likely need to re-time your camshafts. During this type of work, the crankshaft must be set at Top Dead Center (TDC), and the camshafts themselves must remain locked. Cam positioning is a critical procedure on today's computer-controlled vehicles - a camshaft that is timed in error will run very poorly and eventually cause catastrophic damage. The Schwaben Camshaft Locking Tool Set will lock your camshaft and crankshaft at the correct position during assembly, and includes a top dead center pin.

ECS Tuning proudly introduces our line of premium, corrosion-resistant rotors: GEOMET®. GEOMET® is a special coating containing metal oxides, zinc, and aluminum flakes, sprayed over the entire rotor surface to ensure complete coverage, and baked on at 600 degrees to form a durable and attractive silver-gray finish that fights rust far better than paints or other conventional coatings. Slotted or drilled and slotted, you can expect your new GEOMET® rotors to outperform and outlast stock rotors, and look great behind your Allroad's alloy wheels.

A common problem found on Diesel engines that use VNT (variable nozzle turbine) vanes to regulate air flow through the turbine, a sticky VNT turbo actuator can cause limp mode by not moving the vanes as the computer expects. At low engine speed, the vanes close to restrict the exhaust air flow through the turbine, increasing turbine power & boost pressure; at higher engine speeds, the vanes open to maximize exhaust gas flow. Dealers usually replace the entire turbo, netting more money. ECS offers the wiser solution - Simply Replace your Turbo Actuator in one complete repair.
